C33 Laurel

[Frenchie1001]

hey dudes, i am a bit of a lurker around here, so i thought i better put up my own car. i apologise in advance for some of the photo's. some are good. some not so much.

i am coming up on 2 years off ownership next month. when i first got it :

i just fiddle for the first months and loved the shit out of driving it

then i did a drift day :

loved it. car was awesome and i didnt break anything.

then i put a roll cage and bride in. and did another drift day

by this point, i'd put 14/12kg springs and lowered it and all that jazzz, i had a fun day but the car sorta lost that feel that it had. oh yeah i also did this

spun on the entry, and as you can see went backwards in the wall. its kinda hard to explain the damage, but basically the wheel caught on the wall snapping the lca and doing a number on the front corner.

fast forward a long long long 12 months and it got a new turbo and 25 box and some other basics

just in time for the same day/track as i had the bingle the year before.

had the best time, wasnt without issue though, broke a drive shaft on the drive to the start line in the morning missing the whole morning session waiting for a mate to bring out a replacement. but after that it was on

was driving fairly loose as it was the first time in twelve months with a new power setup. i found out later it had a finger tight waste gate and a 190rwkw tune due to some time constrants leading up to the day. i had some pretty mad bind issues and a bent rack by the end of the day, but still manage to drove home. at this point i got poor and lazy missing out on a round of the state drift series. but i got it all back in time to do sprint day at symmons plains.

i dont have any photos of the this, but basically the night before i decided i want to have a crack! changed nothing at all, so still not front sway bar and mismatched 2ndhandies on the back. i had a fair bit of fun and ended up with a 67 flat around there. we didnt get a whole lot of laps which was a bit shit in the end.

around this time i changed the vskf's for a all time favourite wheel of mine

advan oni's! this turned out to be a love hate this but i rate muchly! at the same time this got new coilovers, drop knuckles and a proper tune resulting in 243rwkw!!! fun fun fun.

Car looks awesome man, Love C33's. Engine seems to

be holding up nice & tight with the thrashings from the

looks of that power figure.

Keep us posted.

Hey mate, what is that spoiler you have on the boot?
Looks like the dmax style one, but I've never actually seen it fitted to a laurel.
